A direct drive to George Town takes about 40–75 minutes, longer in heavy traffic. The guide compares taxi, prebooked transfer, app rides and Rapid Penang buses. As a budget reserve for a direct car it gives MYR 40–90 per vehicle, which is a planning figure, not a fixed fare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I stay in Penang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a first trip with a culture focus, George Town's old town has the shortest walks to house museums, lanes and food.
